Chapter 223: To Each His Own Mind

On October 20, the second year of Zhongping, under the severe cold in the northeast, some soldiers of the Youzhou crusade army began to freeze to death.

It seems that the four of Cao Yuan, Liu Gong, and the retreat proposal a few days ago were not approved by Qin Feng, and at this time they were all in their tents, and no one said anything and no one came forward. But they were all secretly looking at Qin Feng, waiting for him to take the initiative to retreat.

The big tent of the Chinese army is a little warm, but Qin Feng's heart is cold.

Xun Yu's face was pale, he was already cold, and he said: "My lord, the cold in Liaodong is several times better than that of the Central Plains, and the soldiers can't adapt to it, so it's better to retreat as soon as possible." ”

Qin Feng frowned, and said: "If you retreat, it will take half a year to come and go, maybe another year, and you can't put down Zhang Ju's rebellion, it's too much time." ”

For him, time is money, and time is benefit. After spending two years here, maybe the court will change greatly when you go back.

Qin Feng's guess is very likely to come true, after all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao are here. As soon as Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died, without the help of Cao Yuan, the son of Empress He could not ascend to the throne, and history changed greatly. Without Dong Zhuo entering Beijing, there would be no princes to ask for Dong.

The princes begging Dong is a "righteous banner", and with this "righteous banner", the princes wantonly recruit troops to control the place, and no longer listen to the imperial court, which is why there is a group of heroes.

If there was no such thing, the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty would be complete. Qin Feng jumped out alone to shout secession, shout uprising, and as soon as he was hula, everyone in the world came over to destroy him.

This kind of thing cannot be done alone, but must be done by a group of people, and then the system will be torn apart, and no one will become the target of public criticism alone. Therefore, Dong Zhuo is chaotic, and the history of the princes seeking Dong must be realized.

However, judging from the current situation, Qin Feng is indeed holding on. Facing Xiangping City, under the severe cold. The soldiers simply could not storm the tall walls.

Just when Qin Feng was hesitating, suddenly Zhang Ping, the foreman of the guard, walked in and said, "Lord, there is a person from outside the gate. It is said that it is a strategy for the Lord to break the city. ”

Qin Feng's heart trembled, and he was surprised: "Is this really the case? Ask the man to come to me. ”

After a while, Zhang Ping brought in a burly young man.

When this man came, he bowed to the ground and said, "In Xia Gongsun Kang." Gongsun Wensheng had seen Qin Dashuai. ”

Who is Gongsun Kang? The big tent, including Xun Yu, didn't know. But Qin Feng knew that Gongsun Kang and his father Gongsun Du were both princes who had once seized Liaodong. He counted the years, and the Gongsun family at this time had not yet succeeded.

According to historical records, Gongsun Dushao moved to Xuansu County with his father, and was a small official at the beginning, and in the sixth year of Zhongping (189), he was recommended by his fellow villager Xu Rong. He was appointed by Dong Zhuo as the Taishou of Liaodong. Since then, it has been smooth sailing, separating Liaodong and dominating the dominant side.

Qin Feng said kindly: "Wensheng, please get up quickly." When he saw Gongsun Kang get up, he said, "I don't know if Wensheng is here, what do you think?" ”

Gongsun Kang was neither arrogant nor humble, and hugged his fists and said: "I am here to offer a strategy to break the city for the marshal." ”

Qin Feng was waiting for the next words, but who knew that Gongsun Kang was silent. Immediately, Qin Feng smiled.

This must be the local forces in Liaodong who came to help Qin Feng break the city, but they definitely didn't come to help in vain.

For Qin Feng. As long as he can break the city, he can do anything, anyway, it is the court's indignation, so he smiled and said: "If Wensheng can help Ben Shuai break the city." This marshal must report to the court to show you the first credit. ”

Gongsun Kang showed joy and hurriedly said: "This strategy is offered by my father, it is so and so ......, if the handsome man is ready, it will be the third watch in the middle of the night." My grandson's family will open the west gate and welcome the commander's soldiers and horses into the city. ”

"Good!" Qin Feng got up and said, "If you really break the city and hold Zhang Ju, your Gongsun family will be the first meritorious." You go back immediately and tell your father that tomorrow's third watch, the commander's soldiers and horses will definitely arrive, and you must open the city gate on time. ”

Gongsun Kang Bai Li.

After he left, Xun Yu reminded: "Lord, this Gongsun Kang suddenly arrived, I am afraid that there will be fraud." ”

Qin Feng smiled confidently, he came from later generations and was familiar with history, if he commented on who opened the door in the Three Kingdoms is a fraud, and who opened the door is true, he has the most right to speak. "Gongsun Du's family is by no means a fraud, they actually took the opportunity to make meritorious contributions to climb the system, there is no need to doubt it."

In fact, Xun Yu didn't know whether it was true or false, and he didn't know where Qin Feng's confidence came from, but since the lord had already made a decision, he wouldn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Qin Feng immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals.

On the way to the arrival of Cao Yuan, Liu Gong, and the four of them said one after another: "It must be that our Qin Dashuai can't stand it and is about to retreat." ”

Therefore, as soon as the four of them entered the tent, Cao Cao smiled and said, "General, when will you retreat?" ”

"Retreat?" Qin Feng hehe, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't retreat, you will attack the city tomorrow." ”

"Huh?" The generals were dumbfounded.

Yuan Shao's head was big, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Zijin, can't it, it's freezing this day, and the soldiers can't climb the city wall." ”

The generals only thought that Qin Feng was faint, and it was a fantasy.

Qin Feng said with a smile: "If we don't climb the city wall, someone will naturally open the door when the time comes." ”

Immediately after, Qin Feng said that Gongsun Du's family would open the city gate.

Cao Cao and the others were overjoyed, just because they also wanted to put down the rebellion as soon as possible and return to the warm Luoyang to enjoy.

So Qin Feng passed down the order, Cao Cao blocked the north gate, Yuan Shao blocked the south gate, Liu Bei Gongsun Zan blocked the east gate, and he himself personally went out to enter the west gate. This time, Zhang Ju must not be escaped again.

When the generals took the order to leave, Liu Bei was outside the tent, his big ears fanned the cool breeze, and asked Gongsun Zhan: "Brother Boju, Gongsun Du's family, why didn't you come to my brother first, but I gave this great achievement to Qin Zijin alone." In Liu Bei's opinion, they are all surnamed Gongsun, and there are few surnamed Gongsun, so they should be their own family.

Gongsun Zhan blew his beard and glared, and said, "Brother Wei doesn't know this Gongsun Du!" ”

It turned out to be not the main family.

The next day, as soon as it was dark, the officers and troops went into action, first merging in one place, and then dividing the troops into four routes. Although the roads were covered with snow, if they were able to successfully enter the city, they would be able to put down the rebellion and return home, and the morale of the soldiers would be high.

Night.

Qin Feng led 10,000 soldiers and horses and ambushed outside the West Gate. Five hundred iron cavalry were in front, and the officers and infantry were behind.

Qin Feng rode a cloud-chasing horse, carrying a Zhenwu Taiji gun, staring at the black behemoth in the distance. As soon as the third watch arrived, he heard a squeaky sound. Immediately after, under the pitch-black behemoth, a bright spot appeared, dangling around.

That's the code.

Qin Feng raised his gun. Facing the falling snowflakes, he raised his arms and shouted: "The last battle is tonight, destroy the rebels, and we will triumph." In the warm home, parents, wives and children are waiting for us. Assault of the whole army! ”

As a result, the soldiers held the last battle and the eagerness to return home, and their morale was high, and they stepped on the snow and charged.

Time. Above the shouting of killing, it resounded on the land of Liaodong in winter.

Horse stepping on Xiangping!

When the cavalry rushed into the city, the rebels were crushed at the first touch, the blood melted the snow, red bloodstains, hoof prints deep in the pit, and the corpses and limbs, stretching from the city gate to the county guard's mansion.

"Run for your life, Qin Zijin has entered the city!" The rebels scattered and fled, leaving the other three gates. But he was killed by Cao Cao and others.

"General Qin is here, we are finally looking forward to this day!" The whole city cheered.

"The traitor Zhang Ju is here!"

"Surround and kill!"

Qin Feng failed to catch Zhang Ju, but the people found Zhang Ju, and the people at this moment had courage because of Qin Feng's appearance. They surrounded Zhang Ju one after another, Zhang Ju was like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouted and beat him, and finally he was suffocated to the ground by a hoe and a wooden shovel.

Among the many rebellions, the extremely well-known rebels Zhang Ju and Zhang Chun died, and the rebellion in Youzhou was put down.

Qin Feng is on the list. and played the court to report the victory, no problem.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and the edict of the imperial court arrived.

In the edict, the imperial court promoted Gongsun Du to Liaodong Taishou. Gongsun Zan was promoted to the Taishou of Beiping, and all of them were controlled by Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, and guarded Youzhou.

It was specifically mentioned in the edict that after returning to the capital, Qin, Cao and Yuan were rewarded for their meritorious deeds.

Thereupon. Qin Feng led the army back, while Gongsun Du stayed in Xiangping and took charge of Liaodong. When the army came to Beiping, Gongsun Zhan stayed in Beiping.

In December of the second year of Zhongping, the army came to Yuyang County and rested temporarily in Ji County, Youzhou.

Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou, set up a banquet to entertain Qin Cao and Yuan, and because Liu Bei was also a clan relative, he also attended the banquet.

As the uncle of the emperor, Liu Yu is very grateful for the contributions made by the three to the Han family, and praises the three of them, and they will definitely be the pillars of the Han family in the future.

And Liu Bei's heart did not fall to the ground, especially after seeing Gongsun Zhan sit in the position of Beiping Taishou. The imperial court decreed that he would be rewarded after returning to Beijing, and he didn't know how much credit he had, what kind of reward he could get, and what level of position he could achieve.

Therefore, when the banquet was over, Liu Bei found Liu Yu alone.

"Uncle Huang......." Liu Bei looked pitiful and said, "Qin Dashuai may have some misunderstanding of Liu Bei, and I don't know what the future holds when I return to Beijing this time." ”

When Liu Yu heard this, he was relieved: "General Qin is a benevolent elder, and he will not hide your merits." "The elders here are not the elderly, they are the elders of high rank.

When Liu Bei heard this, he cried, and he confided in Liu Yu about what happened after the Yellow Turban Rebellion. implied that even if Qin Zijin didn't conceal it, I am afraid that there would be villains in charge and would not give credit.

Liu Yu has been an official for decades, and he also knows that there are ten permanent servants in the court, and seeing Liu Bei's sadness in crying, he said: "Okay, okay, I'll give you a table and talk about these things." You and I are both clan relatives, Your Majesty and others don't need it, but clan relatives want to use it. ”

So Liu Yu wrote a separate table recommending Liu Bei, which roughly means this: Your Majesty, Liu Bei is a capable courtier who has made great contributions in quelling the Yellow Turban and Zhang Ju's rebellion. He is a clan relative, and he is a relative of our Han family, so he should be reused.

A day later, Qin Feng led the army again, and Wuhuan Shan was sent here to return to White Wolf Mountain.

Qin Feng looked at Crash who was talking to Dai Ya in the carriage, and when he walked over, he said, "Crash, take a good rest and recuperate, lead the people to live a good life, and you can't rebel." ”

After Shan Yu became the top minister, he sought his own government in his position, and his thinking changed slightly, which came from his distrust of the Han family. So, he said sincerely: "If you have a brother-in-law for a day, your children and grandchildren will not rebel." That day my brother-in-law was gone, if the court didn't ...... us badly, then I would be gone, and I couldn't say for sure. ”

Qin Feng smiled, and said in his heart that my brother-in-law was too sincere, and said: "Okay, well, before my brother-in-law is gone, I must find a way to let the Wuhuan people come to live in Han, when the time comes, there will be no distinction between Wuhuan and Han people, there is only one country, one family, and one clan!" ”

The surrounding ethnic groups all admired the prosperity of China, and they were overjoyed, and said: "If there is really that day, the Wuhuan people and the Han people are brothers, they are all a family, and they will not be reversed!" ”

Qin Feng felt that the young man was sincere, and he was dedicated to the good life of the people, without the selfishness of those in power. So Qin Feng said: "You must remember today's words, and brother-in-law and I, I will definitely fulfill my promise." ”

Collapse bowed and said: "Collapse on behalf of the Wuhuan people, swear to the White Wolf Mountain that raised us...... ”

……

In January of the third year of Zhongping, in the majestic and festive music, Qin Cao Yuan Liu led an expeditionary force of 30,000 and returned triumphantly. For a time, all the thousands of people in Luoyang City came outside the city to welcome the return of Qin Feng and others.

In the triumphant army, Yuan Shao's head was big, and he said in his heart that he had made military merits again, and he was one step closer to the position of the three dukes.

Cao Cao's face was dark and shiny, and he was full of spirit for making contributions.

Liu Bei's big ears fanned, and he didn't know if Liu Yu's top watch was gone, and it didn't work. He tugged at his earlobe, "You can't be a northern lieutenant anymore, under Qin Zijin's hands, it's too tiring and difficult to do things." ”

And what Qin Feng thought was that he was one step closer to the real hegemony.

As a result, Qin, Cao, Yuan, and Liu, each with their own thoughts, gradually approached Luoyang. (To be continued.) )
